Big Green Coach Company Partners Up With V Festival

• 4th Mar 2010

Big Green Coach is proud to announce that they are the Official Festival Ticket and Coach Provider to V Festival 2010. This environmentally responsible travel company has secured a number of weekend camping tickets for both sites to offer along with their direct coach services. They aim to provide a more pleasant and environmentally conscious journey for V festival goers.

Danny Newby, Business Development Manager, Big Green Coach says:

“The whole Big Green Coach Team will be working very hard to extend the brilliant festival experience to include the coach journey as well. The fact that our customers will be onboard with 48 other V Festival goers will certainly makes for a great atmosphere! As a festival goer myself, I know how tough it is to drive home after a festival weekend of little sleep and perhaps a few to many drinks – Big Green Coach lets you sit back and sleep it all off”

V Festival, sponsored by Virgin Media, kicked off its 15th anniversary celebrations by announcing a world class line up for this year’s festival on the 21st and 22nd August 2010, being headlined by Kings of Leon and Kasabian.

The summer spectacular, held across two sites at Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire, will be crammed with the hottest names in music. Joining the headliners over the weekend will be favourites Stereophonics, Faithless, The Prodigy, David Guetta, Pet Shop Boys, Cheryl Cole, Paul Weller, The Kooks, Paolo Nutini, and 2010 BRIT award winner Florence And The Machine.

Big Green Coach formed in 2009 by three former senior managers from a FTSE 250 transport company, who spotted a gap in the market for a specialist music travel company, are dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of audience travel to music festivals. In 2010, their unique transport offering was spotted by student travel company Outgoing and Big Green Coach has now become part of the Outgoing family who own Snowbombing, Beach Break Live and Summer Break to name but a few. As well as V Festival, the eco travel company has already signed deals this year with Sonisphere, Kendal Calling, Wakestock, Stereophonics, Pinkpop and Dour festival with more exciting deals to be announced soon.

Coach travel is widely accepted as the most environmentally friendly way to get to a festival but Big Green Coach is making it even greener with their commitment to plant a tree in every city for each full coach that goes to a festival.
